Drivers & Restraints-
Rising Demand from the Medical Industry Globally to Aid Growth
Implementation of favorable regulatory policies with the clearance for the use of styrenic block copolymers and reduced dependence of PVC by the FDA and U.S.Pharmacopoeia is one of the major factors contributing to the styrenic block copolymer market growth. Besides, healthcare systems have started developing novel strategies to create phthalate-free products. In these products, SBCs are used as substitutes for PVC. As plastics reduces processing costs and surges longevity, it is adopted more in the medical industry. However, the cost of the finished product is very high because of the extraction of raw materials, such as propylene, ethylene, and benzene from crude oil. It may hinder growth.
